The old town hall of the mayor's office in Kürten (today a home for the elderly)

The mayor Kuerten was one of six mayors in the county Wipperfurth in Region of Cologne in the Prussian Rhine Province . It was created in 1816 from the Mairie Kürten , which was built by the French in the Grand Duchy of Berg . With the Prussian law regulating various points of the municipal constitutional law of December 27, 1927, the mayor's offices were finally abolished and the mayor's office was transferred to the office of Kürten.
